Embodiment Construction

[0006] The present invention fills this need by administering to patients with hemophilia B factor XIII in conjunction with factor IX, and by administering to patients afflicted with hemophilia B factor XIII in conjunction with factor IX.

[0007] The teachings of all of the references cited herein are incorporated in their entirety by reference.

[0008] Hemophilia B is heterogeneous in both its clinical severity and molecular pathogenesis. Clinical severity roughly correlates with the level of factor IX activity. In severe hemophilia B, the patient will have less than 1% normal factor IX in his plasma (about 0.1 U / ml of plasma). Once a bleeding disorder has been determined to be present, the physician must determine what is the cause of the disorder. For diagnostic purposes, the hemostatic system is divided into two parts: the plasma coagulation factors, and platelets. With the exception of factor XIII deficiency, each of the known defects in coagulation proteins prolongs either the p...

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED PATENT APPLICATIONS [0001] This patent application is a continuation of copending and commonly owned U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10 / 416,055, filed May 7, 2003, which is the US national phase of International Patent Application PCT / US01 / 47144, filed Nov. 8, 2001, and claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application 60 / 247,362, filed Nov. 10, 2000, each of which being hereby incorporated by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] Hemophilia B is an inherited disorder of blood coagulation characterized by a permanent tendency to hemorrhage due to a defect in the blood coagulation mechanism. Hemophilia B is caused by a deficiency in factor IX. Factor IX is a single-chain, 55,000 Da proenzyme that is converted to an active protease (factor IXa) by factor XIa or by the tissue factor VIIa complex. Factor IXa then activates factor X in conjunction with activated factor VIII. Hemophilia B occurs in 1 in 30,000 male births. Since the disease displ...
